Storyteller Guide
Description
The parallels between the Jurassic Park film and real-life scientific advancements are undeniable. The plot of Jurassic Park (1993) and its sequels are based on the premise of using prehistoric DNA and biotechnology to revive dinosaurs. Scientists have considered the possibility of reviving extinct species since the development and discovery of technologies to decode (1977) and edit DNA (1980s). Genetic science has continued to progress at a rapid rate – resulting in discoveries that can feel like science fiction. This storyteller’s guide explores the reality and fiction of DNA science and the de-extinction of lost species.
